Goodreads asked Barbara Rhine:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Barbara Rhine See my website: http://www.tellnoliesnovel.com

During the largest agricultural strike in California history, I served as staff attorney for the United Farmworkers Union (UFW). I opened law offices in Stockton, Merced, Fresno and Delano, CA.

Throughout the Second Wave of the feminist movement, I participated in a consciousness-raising group and other feminist activities in Berkeley.

And from my college days to the present, I have participated in civil rights causes. During a crisis in Oakland between the Black Panther Party and the police, I slept in the local BPP office as part of an effort organized by the National Lawyers Guild to stave off police attack.

From these various milieus, my novel Tell No Lies springs.
